When I have creative block, I definitely need to take a break, get some fresh air and a good night's sleep before even attempting to attack the problem. It sounds corny, but I find novelty to be good inspiration. For me, this could mean doing something childish like getting ice cream or going ice skating, visiting a place I've never been before, escaping through art, music, aromatherapy, etc., or learning about a new philosophy. When I get back to whatever project has been confusing me, I feel revived and basically inspired by the world around me. Worse comes to worse, I brainstorm multiple ideas, paste them all onto one page and leave it for a few hours. When I return, I leave a few seconds to determine which looks the best or makes the most sense.
